Does anyone here know if there's going to be a tour? or if so where I could get details. I got told NIN might be coming to Australia in August :D

That means..NIN might come to NZ!...before Australia! (It's just how it is.) But I'll never forget when Korn said they'd come to NZ...then they missed us and went straight to Aus. Fagets....pun...he..he.

[QUOTE=Med57]Those are the dates so far as on [url]http://www.nin.com/tour[/url] I'm missing them in the UK as I'm on holiday abroad when they're playing. :upset: Hopefully they'll be back sooner rather than later, as I absolutely have to see them live just for their crazily energetic live show.[/QUOTE]
After this current tour, they'll be coming back around (at least in the US, not sure you about you UKers, though.) They'll be announcing the dates sometime in June, I believe, so keep watching it.

Hello guys. I have some questions about NIN:

first of all, I have the fragile CD. I bought it like 3-4 years ago, and never actually "listened" to it. So Based on Keeth's list I can start actually listening to it, but I need some more feedback on this one, I like some tracks, but It really freaked me out, for some reason....

On another note, I'm looking for NIN videos, And I remember only two that I want to watch: the first one is an instrumental, and it's about a journey through the sewer to some guys mouth. The other one is the video in which there's a man eating meat, and it's full of flies...That's all I remember about those. Help is very welcome. Thanks.

I don't really understand your question about The Fragile. It's my personal favorite NIN CD, and to me is a true masterpiece. You should sit down and listen all the way through it, and you'll probably appreciate it more. A lot of newer NIN fans like the Left disc better, which I do as well, but the Right disc has plenty of hidden gems. Just let yourself imagine what images are being painted by the sound. It's a really layered, huge album that focuses on soundscapes and ambience, so allow yourself to listen to it in that mindframe.

Videos...both the videos you described are from the EP, Broken. If you're a fan of the harder NIN stuff, then you'll love that disc. It's short, but it's full of really heavy material and has become a fan-favorite. I belive that the specific videos are for the songs "Pinion" and perhaps "Help Me I Am In Hell," but I'm not completely sure, as I haven't watched those videos in a long time. There's a VHS called Closure that will be released on DVD soon, and it has all the NIN videos, including the ones you're talking about. I've seen it available at Hollywood Video and Blockbuster, so you could probably track it down and rent it at one of those places. Also you can find most NIN videos at [url]http://www.nin.com/visuals/index.html[/url], so check around in there for songs you're interested in.

The NIN videos have always been cool.
Happiness In Slavery was a bit... well, see for yourself.

Wow, I'm surprised how fresh the new NIN sounds. I just got it today. I love the disco beat in Only. Also Beside You In Time is briliant.

I was slightly thrown off the first time I saw that, but it's actually a pretty good video. Broken is my least favorite NIN release, though. My favorite NIN videos are Perfect Drug, Hurt, and Closer.

With Teeth still growing on me wiht every listen. I've always loved it, but I just listened to it today and I was ecstatic afterwards. The ending stretch of the CD is absolutely great. It's a very cohesive record, and significantly more linear than the Fragile, but not in a bad way. The freshness is accounted for because of a style change, basically the more live-sounding drums and less layering, although there's plenty to be discovered as I learned with the 5.1 mix.

Does Trent actually play the drums on the albums or does he use a drum machine? Is it even him on the recording? I've always been confused on that.

For PHM and Broken, he used a drum machine, but on The Downward Spiral and The Fragile, he came up with the beats, but had a professional drummer play them. He would take the live, raw recordings and loop the parts he wanted and run them through a synth to give them different sounds. On With Teeth, Dave Grohl played drums on several of the tracks and, by the sound of it, it's more of a raw, live drum sound and not looped or synth-ed. I prefer "Trent-style" drums, but it makes for an interesting percussion section on With Teeth. Still, there's a lot of percussive sounds that he did himself, and I think used a drum machine for.

What about the other instruments?

[QUOTE=letmypeopleho]What about the other instruments?[/QUOTE]
As far as I know, Trent plays guitar and bass on most of the songs. He does all the keyboards and synths, mixing, and a lot of production as well. He also puts in samples and all that good stuff.

Did Jeordie White do any of the bass recording for WT?
And I know that another guitarist contributed to TF. Danny Lohner, I think.

1. I don't know and 2. yes, that's who I was trying to think of for The Fragile.

I never knew Manson sung the chorus with Trent on 'Gave Up'. In the video it has Trent, the band and Manson all playing the song, and Manson has no make-up. Back in his 'Sweet Dreams' days when he was a rr000ckka...not a shock rr000ckka.

Although he doesn't actually play guitar on it, and he looks pretty awkward in that video. Richard Patrick is also in that video, who was NIN's touring guitarist in the early days, and who is now the frontman/writer of Filter.

I love how Marilyn Manson plays a guitar in the video for Personal Jesus. He said himself that he doesn't play and that he only played it because it looked good. I thought it was funny.

Yep, he's a bit of a poseur, I think.

What can ya do.

:amaze:

I take the rocker comment back, shame on you Brian Warner.

Haha yeah brian is not what he used to be

Yes NIN are coming to melbourne
/Gives high fives to the melbourne NIN fans

/Goes to camp out in front of the ticket office

To Kage:

Thanks man I'll get into that...I couldn't find the booklet for The Fragile, but I found it yesterday...I'll get to listen to that bastard...:thumb:
And yes it was "pinion" the first one, but the second one remains unknown...
To make this post more worthy, I would also like to add that...mmm...em.... well talking about Manson anyone has heard his former guitarist solo work (John5 I think)? I've read that it's pretty good.

I haven't heard John5's solo stuff either but I've also read it's pretty good.. Anyway, I thought Jeordie White did do some bass recordings for the album. Who knows, I could be wrong. Anyway, the day has finally arrived...NIN in Austin...I'm off! :D

NIN to tour with Queens Of The Stone Age this fall, for a huge North American tour.

No problem, I'm glad to see another person get into NIN. Make sure to tell us your thoughts.

The second a New York City show goes on sale... oh man, I'm there. I do not want to miss them again.

I refuse to miss them again. They played here LAST NIGHT and I couldn't get scalped tickets. What a sour day that was.

Man... thats going to be an awesome tour.

NIN are coming to a city 3 hours drive from here in August.

But alas, I am young and need to save what money I have for Tool.
